Image could stand to be a bit sharper, but I really like the tight crop around all the elements in the image. It adds to the tension created by the fact that there's a dude on a motorcycle in mid-air. Nice work. (7)

Nice action, great color. You might try Neat Image to smooth some of the graininess in the sky.

this image looks a little over editied. the reason i say that it because there is noise in the sky and the colors look too over processed. I think its just over-doing it on the post editing, everyone does it, i know i do. 6

Not quiet sharp enough.

Great shot and no logos (key for stock images).

I'm sure this was a very hard photo to capture - marks for that. However as a stock photo I think it is a little too pixilated and the focus not very sharp. There should have been a sharp focus on the biker and the rest of the image softer or the rest of the image sharp and the biker motion blurred. I think the focus rests somewhere between the two. Were you a distance away and this is a crop of the original photograph?

This certainly has a lot of potential, but it looks as though it was blown up quite a bit from the original, or maybe it was oversharpened a little too much. It just looks a little too contrasty. A once-over with NeatImage might help this one out a bit. - 6
